GOF's Sock Puppet

Did anyone notice this in today's release?

Since May 5th, 2010, huh? n00bs!! I am, of course, speaking of one of my previous incarnations. That makes it 5 years now. Still a n00b by any other sock. Six years here. N00b. Six. I'll catch up one of these days. You just wait and see!

They have been "working" on something for the forums as long as I have been around. I'm not all that excited by yet another "we're working on it" statement.

If Groundspeak didn't know that people wanted those things before it is because they weren't listening. Everyone else that frequents the forums certainly knew. I suspect that some of those things may have been in the pipe before the move.

There is nothing that says it needs to be fun for a majority of cachers.

I don't think I'd call it a caching tool.

Don't worry too much.You did the right thing fessing up to it right away. Looks like you found the flaw in the cache design. Perhaps the owner will work out a way to improve things so in doesn't happen again.

Or not. Make sure you never go caching in the middle of a fight.

So no "I'm thinking of a number between one and ten" puzzles.

I prefer to cache alone for the most part. With one or two others isn't bad. Any more than that and it gets to be no fun.

This is why I asked for a definition. The caches listed as "The E.T. Highway" are touted as a "power Trail".

Say "get satisfaction". Are you supposed to snicker or cough after you say that, or do you just say it with a straight face, as though you somehow missed the irony? I try to say it with a straight face...Honest, I do. But sometime I have a bit of a self control issue.

i think briansnat is the keeper of the secret of the secret handshake. Yes. Anything I posted is just a place keeper until he can post the correct answer.

For #3 just hide behind a tree and yull really loud "GEOPOLICE!". Just be sure not to notice that they wet their pants. Oh. And if you get punched in the nose I'm not gonna admit to having told you anything.

yes, i did bring it up in post#22 Better run those socks from different internet cafes, lest they track the IP addresses and shut them down. nah, while the rules say that sock puppet accounts are not permitted, a thread about someone asking if its OK to create one was allowed to go on for zillion pages instead of being shut down and the rule be pointed out by the moderators meanwhile in the very same thread i get a warning because of the stupid "stay on topic" rule and i was told that i will be banned if i post anymore in that thread so obviously GS doesn't give a rats a** about sock puppet accounts Okay, I stand corrected. Sock puppet accounts - The *forum* guidelines say that sock puppet accounts should not be used to post anonymously, but there is at least one well known sock posting on here and he has not been taken out behind the wood shed yet. Maybe because he not really anonymous. But the question is can you use a sock puppet account to publish caches? I say the answer to that one is yes. Or if you get a group of cachers together whats going to stop the power trail? I suppose we will then get into the arguments of what is the wow factor. But I like what Toz has been saying, define a power trail. I think that is going to be hard. The only way I see they can really put the lid on is to be really restrictive on the number of caches that can be published and increasing the proximity rules. So if you can only publish four caches a year and the proximity rule is increased to one mile I think they might get a lid on the likes of the ET highway. But then the number of hides will probably take a hit. I guess you are talking about me. Yes, I am being allowed to post with a "sock puppet" account. Never ever been questioned on it. As I see it there is no secret about what my "normal" account is so I am not posting any more anonymously than anyone else.

I may use this one one day. If you don't mind.

The most important thing to remember is... DON'T PANIC!

Before or after you take them to your mother ship.

I think Prime suspect has already invented this wheel. GeoLex

It never occurred to me to keep track of such things.
